Dangerous duo: Hostility plus depression elevates risk for heart disease
Researchers led by Jesse Stewart, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, report that hostility and depression appear to act together in a complex way to elevate inflammatory proteins in the human body, possibly putting hostility plus depression on the list of risk factors for heart disease... view more...

A rare case of ischemic colitis caused by chronic venous insufficiency
Ischemic injury to the bowel is a well known disease entity that has a wide spectrum of pathological and clinical findings. A sudden drop in the colonic blood supply is key to its development. view more (2008-05-21)
For fats, longer may not be better
Researchers have uncovered why some dietary fats, specifically long-chain fats, such as oleic acid (found in olive oil), are more prone to induce inflammation. view more (2009-01-09)
Biological FM signal maintains inflammation in cancer, asthma and other diseases
A study published in Science examines a key player in conditions such as cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma and has shown that cells use a sophisticated communication system to coordinate responses to infection and maintain inflammation in the body. view more (2009-04-10)
UK research leads to world-leading drug delivery technology
There is an unmet need to deliver drugs specifically to the colon (large intestine) in a reliable and controlled way. This new technology involves a drug coating consisting of ethycellulose and amylose, which is only digested by microbial amylase enzymes which are present in the colon. Drugs which are coated with this mixture can thus be taken... view more... (1998-08-06)
Oxidized form of a common vitamin may bring relief for ulcerative colitis
New research published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology finds retinoic acid may alleviate ulcerative colitis and similar irritable bowel diseases. view more (2009-10-01)
Probiotics may make life easier for people with gastrointestinal disorders
The efficacy of two probiotic strains is studied in one-year clinical trials with volunteers suffering from gastrointestinal disorders in Ireland, Spain and Finland. The overall objective of this EU-funded project, PROGID, is to assess the effects of these probiotics in easing the symptoms of inflammatory bowed diseases (IBD). The probiotic... view more...

Arthritis Drug Helps Debilitating Inflammatory Disease
For children and young adults who suffer from a rare and debilitating disorder called neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), a drug called anakinra brings marked improvement both in symptoms and the inflammation underlying the disease, a new study shows. view more (2006-08-11)
New therapeutic targets in the treatment of ulcerative colitis
Social, environmental and dietary changes are associated with the changes of disease spectrum in a country. Ulcerative colitis has become a commonly seen disease in China, probably due to extensive consumption of Western foods in recent years. view more (2007-11-14)
Form of Crohn's disease traced to disabled gut cells
Scientists report online this week in Nature that they have linked the health of specialized gut immune cells to a gene associated with Crohn's disease, an often debilitating and increasingly prevalent inflammatory bowel disorder. view more (2008-10-06)
Antibody to a naturally-occurring sugar chain in colon inhibits inflammatory bowel disease
A collaboration led by the Burnham Institute for Medical Research has found that an antibody which binds to an unusual sugar molecule residing in the gut halts the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease and other intestinal inflammations. view more (2005-10-07)
Scientist study bacterial communities inside us to better understand health and disease
The number of bacteria living within the body of the average healthy adult human are estimated to outnumber human cells 10 to 1. Changes in these microbial communities may be responsible for digestive disorders, skin diseases, gum disease and even obesity. view more (2008-06-03)
May inflammatory bowel disease mimic gynecological disorders in its clinical presentation
Endometriosis is a condition of unknown etiology in which endometrial tissue occurs at extra-uterine sites, including ovaries, fallopian tubes, and gastrointestinal tract. view more (2008-02-25)
NO COMMON CAUSE LINKING INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE AND COLORECTAL CANCER (pp 246, 262)
Research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET does not support the theory that there may be a single genetic cause for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer. The causes of IBD and colorectal cancer (which occurs more often in people with IBD) are unknown. Some researchers have suggested that IBD and colorectal cancer might... view more... (2001-01-24)
HATS off to combat asthma
Two University of Nottingham studies exploring the causes and treatment of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) could lead to the development of drugs to battle these debilitating conditions. view more (2007-12-05)
Early signs that statins could help in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (pp 2011, 2015)
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the anti-inflammatory effect of statins (a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs) could be effective in relieving symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. The inflammatory nature of rheumatoid arthritis puts sufferers at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.... view more... (2004-06-16)
Packard/Stanford study suggests two causes for bowel disease in infants
New research from Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and the Stanford University School of Medicine is helping physicians unravel the cause of a deadly and mysterious bowel disease that strikes medically fragile newborn babies. view more (2009-04-27)
Could senna improve the quality of colonoscopy preparation with magnesium citrate?
Inadequate cleansing of the colon has an adverse effect on procedure time, safety, completion rate and diagnostic accuracy. Until now, it has been unclear whether the combination of the stimulant laxative, senna, and the osmotic laxative, magnesium citrate, results in better cleansing outcome and is acceptable and tolerable for the patients. view more (2009-04-17)
M.D. Anderson-led team reports possible key to autoimmune disease
A human peptide that acts as a natural antibiotic against invading microbes can also bind to the body's own DNA and trigger an immune response in the absence of an infection, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports in an early online publication in Nature. view more (2007-09-17)
